I like the Bosch platinum +4 plug,TPIS also recomends them. They are the same price as the delco stock replacements. Steven

I run the split fire platinums and have had no problems as of yet.

Platinum is fine for longitivity. But since copper conducts electricity better than platinum, you'll get more spark with copper

I have a set of Rapid Fire's brand new I'll sell ya cheap. You pay shipping... I also have a set of Split Fires, but their not platnum. New also. If anyone wants them I'll sell them to you for $1.25/ea.

Think I'll make a seperate post if you don't want them.

I'm going to get them for Sunday, so I'll have to pass on the offer. Thanks though. I'm probably going to go with the NGK55

I asked this in LT1 tech, and had a few people recomend Platinum 4's, but most recomended the TR55's. They are also cheaper than the Bosch blugs, so I got em...

Installing them is another thing....
Anyone around here mind helping me do it for not too much?
First (most accessable) plug seems to be stuck. I didn't want to over torque it...but I damn near did a pull up on the socket wrench trying to get it out...
Any advice?
